Hey Lou,

I can't take all the credit for the crossmember chop, but I did do it thanks to Captkaos's directions. Looks good so far. JUST FYI, the way you did yours is different than how it's usually done. Most people notch it all the way to under the frame rails for a lower ride height. It sounds like you did because you had some "engine placement" concerns, but I'm not quite sure what exactly you were concerned about. Anyway.....LATER!

Here's a nice concise write-up by Captkaos: http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/chopcross.html
